Sažetak
The central idea of this presentation is to introduce a way of using fables in TEFL. Ideas which are going to be presented can be used both in primary and secondary-school classrooms. Being rich with a very useful and expressive language material, fables can either be used in introducing new language material or its revision. The structure of fables (on the material of the fable/picture book Stinky Cheese Man by Jon Scieszka) will be analyzed on three levels: lexical, syntactic and textual. On the lexical level, fables will be presented through the use of frequent and characteristic language material: nouns (names of animals, abstract nouns), adjectives (qualitative adjectives), and verbs (verb phrases, phrasal verbs). Finally, the use of tenses and clauses will show the syntactic form/-s found in fables, and on the textual level, the ways of simple and quality dramatization, both in classrooms or professional studios, will be shown.
